It's Blitz!

One album worth looking forward to this year.

"""The 3rd album from New York’s finest Yeah Yeah Yeahs is to be titled It’s Blitz! and is due to be unleashed on an unsuspecting planet on April 10. The album will be preceded by the single Zero which shows the band on their most electronic, experimental tip to date, with the inimitable Yeah Yeah Yeahs bombast flecked with swatches of synths and atmospheric effects.

According to the band, It’s Blitz! was inspired by the ’70s disco collaborations between Italian producer Giorgio Moroder and R&B songstress Donna Summer, Joy Division, and, well, Karen O’s love of dancing, and these all come through in their own YYY-warped way on the record.

It’s Blitz! was recorded across a number of studios across the states with production duties shared by TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek and Nick Launay (Talking Heads, Arcade Fire, INXS), and captures a band at the height of their powers and completely owning a gallant new direction."""
